CERES Project
seminars Aljezur, Algarve, Southwest Portugal

colleges

Treat your A-Level (German Abitur / French baccalauréat) students to something
special. There is considerable evidence
that a residential fieldwork trip is the highlight of students' school and college years. Offering a fieldwork experience at AS level
may increase recruitment to A level. In
an independent survey carried out over many years virtually all students
concluded that their CERES fieldtrip improved the quality of their program of
study. We are proud that our trips received an average overall score of
4.9 points out of 5 since four years.

We will help the teacher to provide a learning environment
that engages and challenges the learner. We take care of the logistics
and organize
contextualized activities to help the trip leader to achieve the
learning outcomes. We welcome groups for a range of subjects including geography, biology, geology, sports, tourism, science or environmental studies on
either a self-taught, centre assisted or centre taught basis.

CERES International was founded
and is run by academics. We have plenty of experience teaching in secondary schools. Our
mission is to assist the trip leader in running a successful event.

Aljezur with its charming Portuguese architecture, relaxed atmosphere, cultural diversity
and reasonable prices
provides the perfect base for study. It
is centrally located within the Parque Natural. The Costa Vicentina is a hub for outdoor
activities like surfing, mountain biking, hiking and kajaking. Aljezur is the place to engage students in different and challenging activities before sampling the obligatory bica and Portuguese cuisine in town at any time of the year.

Portugal is one of the most peaceful and most globalized countries in the world, has a superior health systems and virtually no dangerous animals.

Specific fieldwork courses have been developed to enable
teachers to quickly and easily book a residential fieldtrip, safe in the
knowledge that it will be directly related to work taught in the classroom and
will contribute to achieving specification requirements under the following
exam boards:

AQA | Edexcel | OCR | WJEC | CIE | CCEA

Whether you are preparing for AS / A (fieldwork file or
fieldwork exam, practical skills, research skills, investigative skills ect.)
or GCSE controlled assessment, we will provide the answer. Our courses provide clearly stated outcomes and links to
specification requirements. The content can be tailored to meet your needs. Although it has been designed with the needs
of students in England and Wales in mind, it should be helpful wherever in the
world you are.

Depending on budget, objectives of the
trip and funding options the core packet can be supplemented with:

Evening meals (€12 /pp): Arriving late? Spend the whole
day in the field? We take you out to our favourite local restaurants or
arrange dinner at your accommodation that is ready for you when you arrive.

Workshops and guided tours (€300 /full day): We deliver day or half-day
workshops on a wide range of topics.
Workshops are tailored to your groups level of subject knowledge and learning outcomes...go to page.

Extension weeks: If your students have to finish
an assignment or if you are thinking about setting up a research project you
can extend your stay at our lodge. We are trying to avoid back-to-back group
bookings.

Customised T-Shirts (€19): Dress in style. A local company prints 100% organic cotton
T-Shirts with your logo. The company uses a new eco-certificated heat
transfer printing process for the best results.

Local driver and tour guide (€10 /h): If you want to relax and concentrate on your work, ask our staff to do the driving. Our drivers know the area very well. They drive you safely to the places you want to visit.

Have a look at our list of specialist workshops to
get an overview about topics we cover. All workshops can be adapted and tailored to suit your group. Please have a look at our workshops under the field trip menu.

We also work to together with our local
partners to provide you with discounted
rates on a variety of exciting options to
fill an extracurricula “day off” or
to integrate an activity to achieve a specific learning outcome:

Careful selection of practical syllabus components and collaboration
between stakeholders is necessary to create meaningful learning experiences for
students. If you are thinking about offering a new course that includes a trip abroad or if you want to
update and refine an existing module please contact us. We can help you to design pre-visit lessons, a
trip itinerary, assessment mode and post visit activities to meet learning
outcomes.

If your course has a work based learning component CERES
International is able to offer a limited amount of placements per annum. We can you help you to strengthen the links
of your institute with industry, charities and non-governmental organisations
in the Algarve through our network of partner
organisations.

Interested
students should contact us directly outlining precisely
his or her qualifications, skills and competencies and include the relevant module
descriptor. We will get in contact with suitable placement providers to establish
what the student will need in order to carry out the placement and to ascertain
whether or not the student concerned meets these requirements. The student will
understand what exactly is required and will be able to check that they will be
able to meet the learning outcomes of their course.

Please do not hesitate to contact
us if you need further information
or to be put in touch with other colleges that uses our Centre. If
you would like to visit us to look at our
facilities and meet our partners we will be pleased to welcome you at a mutually
convenient time.

organise to boost your budgets and allow all students to go on a trip to
Portugal, send us an email or phone us.
